The interview went as follows,


Tough loss you suffered yesterday, how are you feeling?
I am feeling fine. When one door closes, another one is opened. Now that I am free from politics for a bit, I plan on exploring some of the other things that eCanada has to offer, maybe own a company and get involved with the CAF.

You seemed to have a lot of support going in, what went wrong?
I placed all of my eggs in one basket, the DAL. We are an incredible party with a lot of votes but Jacobi had 3 of the top 5 parties in eCanada and it helps when two-clickers mostly vote for presidents they know of or who has the most parties support.


Did being associated with William Duncan hurt you in this election?
No, I don't think it did. First of all, William Duncan has made eCanada stronger than any other president in my opinion, and while I might be biased I truly believe that. Our army went from having a few people online at a time to now having more than the USA sometimes on IRC. That has given us the opportunity to do well over 100,000 damage which is a massive improvement. We are no longer solely dependent on our allies, we can handle ourselves.

Do you think having Treian as your VP for this election affected you negatively?
Of course not, Treian is a very well respected and liked eCanadian and I enjoyed working with him.

What would have been your first act as PM?
Get my cabinet organized and a good set of orders set out.

Would you have supported the Spanish in their war against France?
Yes I would have. Spain are our allies and they deserve our support for all they have done for us.

What are your thoughts on Phoenix?
Phoenix will be a new imperialist alliance and they make no attempts to object to that. I think we need to secure our borders now from enemy attackers as best as possible.

What are your plans for the future? Will you run again?
Yes, I will be running again next term most likely.

Alright I would like thank you for giving me the time, any closing thoughts?
Thanks for the opportunity for this interview and I enjoyed answering your questions. I also want to thank everyone in eCanada who voted for me and supported me this run and I promise them to come back stronger next time. Also, congratulations to Jacobi for being elected President.
